Whoever "people" is. How many upvotes (in orders of magnitude) are needed to get to the front page is still a mystery to me. I wonder if there are "slow days" on which it might be easier because there is less voting in g

Interesting that Google offers a method "age verification by email address" that seems to come close to the popular "my account is already more than 18 years old" argument. Only that in this case, they check on which web

I think sites and app developers don't really need external reasons to force account creation, they all seem to want to do it anyway. And at least this API would - in theory - enable age verification without needing an account.

I don't know, "node-based" interfaces as a concept seem to have made inroads into quite a number of (specialized) fields, e.g. image processing or movie postproduction. My takeaway is that simply visualizing the AST of a proc

It's almost hilarious how every cookie form now has a "legitimate interest" section that's just a copy of the "consent" section with defaults set to "allow". They're not even pretending anymore a

Python libraries can have compiled artifacts that were written in any language. This is such a library.

Of course what is Schrödinger's China is the idea that an otherwise adversarial China would simply accept some international ruleset decreed by the US and enforce it on their own territory, without demanding anything in return. E.g.

Yep. I think that's a "normal" feature of how conflict resolution during rebases work: To perform your rebase, git merges each of the original commits into your new history, in turn. If one if those commits has a change that

I don't know, that sounds like the kind of "I'm not touching you" defense that I don't think will convince anyone with common sense. It's obvious the wipe turned a search that could potentially find something i

Thanks for the info! I didn't try that so far, but it sounds like it could really make that easier. Will give it a try!

I use interactive rebases frequently, but even then, I think conflicts happening during a rebase are often somewhat cryptic. I think I know what happens in principle (each step of a rebase does a merge of the commit from the list with the l

Sorry, you're right of course (and yeah, the Pacific rim can obviously not be in the Atlantic, typed too fast there...) With "opposite" I meant the role in plate tectonics, in that classical volcanoes seem to mostly appear ne

What an amazing read! (and only slightly depressing) Though I'm kind of disappointed the last section did not end with fusion power, stellar migration and artificial intelligence...

My suspicion is still that this has to do with losing insight in the little specific details of the matter and general understanding. An area where I realized that was feature engineering: Early ML systems had handcrafted features that were

Yeah, the author is contradicting himself here: On the one hand, that civilization must have ended several million years ago, so erosion and plate tectonics had time to erase all traces - but on the other hand, humans were still having liv
